NAACP Finds No Evidence of Antisemitic Slurs in High School Basketball Game

Contradictory findings spark controversy as Yonkers school district and players maintain allegations of antisemitism.

An investigation by the Yonkers NAACP found no evidence of antisemitic slurs being used during a basketball game between Roosevelt High School and the Leffell School, a private Jewish school.
The game, which took place on January 4, was ended early due to allegations of antisemitic slurs and aggressive behavior from Roosevelt players.
Roosevelt's coach, Bryan Williams, was fired in the aftermath of the incident, a decision he claims was made to scapegoat him.
Yonkers Public Schools Interim Superintendent Dr. Luis Rodriguez and city Mayor Mike Spano issued a public apology following the incident.
The NAACP's findings contradict those of the Yonkers school district and the accounts of Leffell School players.
